Ziggurat Structures explores the towering monuments of ancient Mesopotamia, examining their architectural evolution, religious significance, and pivotal role in early urban centers. These structures were not merely temples; they were integral to the socio-political and religious fabric of Mesopotamian civilization. Intriguingly, ziggurats served as tangible symbols of a city's power and connection to the gods, influencing urban planning and legitimizing royal authority. The book meticulously examines the architectural development of ziggurats, tracing their evolution from early iterations to monumental forms in cities like Ur and Babylon. It also delves into the religious beliefs and rituals associated with these sacred spaces, connecting the earthly and divine realms. Drawing on archaeological excavations and cuneiform texts, the book reconstructs ancient Mesopotamian practices and demonstrates how these structures influenced the layout of cities and the consolidation of power. Each chapter builds upon the previous, starting with an introduction to the ziggurat concept and culminating in an examination of their lasting legacy.

Funicular structures are structural skeletons designed using methodologies that analyze the flow and direction of forces, which can be categorized as compression, tension, or a combination of both. They are not only elegant, resembling naturally occurring forms, but also highly efficient and can be built with minimal use of relatively low-strength materials, thus minimizing their negative environmental impact. This book presents an in-depth overview of the theoretical foundations and practical methods of designing funicular structures for maximum efficiency. Beginning with a foundation and introduction to funicular structures for those new to the subject, the book then provides in-depth coverage of cables, arches, shells and vaults, domes, and spatial structures. Chapters explain the theory behind funicular structures in 2D, spatial funicular structures in 3D and examine their structural behavior. Recent and historically famous structures from around the globe are analyzed, and their potential design methods revealed through step-by-step, visual explanations. Structural analysis of funicular structures in different forms are also presented to demonstrate pitfalls and common errors. Tracing the various methods of designing funicular structures, including the latest computational tools, this book provides a solid foundation for students of architecture, structural design, civil engineering, landscape design, and environmental design, to embark on their own funicular design projects.

‘The Art and Ideology of the Trade Union Emblem, 1850–1925’ is a groundbreaking book that considers trade union emblems and banners as art objects in their own right. It studies their commissioning, their designers and the social conditions and gender relations that they knowingly or unwittingly reveal. The volume celebrates working-class culture and shows how it could be both innovative and derivative. Annie Ravenhill-Johnson’s exploration of the artistry of the emblems – the art of and for the toiling masses – sets these images of labour in their historical, cultural and ideological context.

Sha’Z Square: Ancient Mysteries Decoded 2nd edition By: Shahrokh Zadeh Sha’Z Square: Ancient Mysteries Decoded examines several historical places to highlight mathematical similarities and relations. For the first time, four historical sites and structures are studied through new lenses to discover how they mathematically correlate with each other and with other notable structures on Earth. Structures of Ziggurat of Dur, Ziggurat of Ur, Ziggurat of Chogha Zanbil, and the Taq-e Boston Site are corners of a rhombus-shaped area that the author names Sha’Z Square. This area has an interesting geometrical connection with some other historical structures such as the Kaaba, the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Colossi of Memnon, the Church of Saint George, the Statue of Christ the Redeemer, the Leshan Giant Buddha, the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, and more. Many discoveries are revealed, and Sha’Z Square or a spot nearby might be the center of the lands on Earth and the merged land of Africa, Asia, and Europe. Were our ancient architectures aware of this information? Explore how our ancient engineers have fascinated the public for thousands of years. Be ready to burst ideas that might contradict our normal understanding of the evolution of the ancient civilization. By studying each section, more questions arise than answers.

The novel took a leap into the future, and through various scenes exposed the appalling conditions of humankind. The people were mired in debt and misery, as they succumbed under the oppressive regimes of the various world governments. The destiny of many nations was doomed by one menacing power. However, the deplorable hardship was eventually brought to the attention of God. The cries of the people were eventually heard! The Divine court was not indifferent, and the issue was indeed brought forth. God, then assigned benevolent Tabriel, the protagonist, the task of determining the guilty and bring them to justice. Tabriel on his part travelled to Earth and began his investigation, he came across Ibleece, the antagonist. Tabriel then uncovered the mystery behind the Empire of the Money Monopoly. Tabriel found it to be in full control of the affairs of humankind, thus responsible for much of the prevailing mischief. However, the people were unaware! Tabriel concluded that via the formidable deception, practiced by Ibleece, the Empire attained its menacing might. Tabriel, nonetheless, decided to confront Ibleece and his Empire. He initiated a battle, sparking a revolution, which toppled the menacing Empire of Ibleece.

Was there a meaningful stellar sign over Bethlehem? What did it look like to someone looking up at the night sky? Did wise men really come from the East seeking Israel’s Messiah sometime after the birth of Jesus? The biblical account of the wise men and the star that announced the coming of the Messiah of Israel has inspired and puzzled people for two millennia. Important aspects of Babylonian astronomy seem to be involved in understanding the star’s appearing. But in addition, The Lion Led the Way also explores the men and events from a profoundly Jewish perspective. The traditional Jewish names of stars and planets, Jewish symbols, as well as Jewish dates, all seem to be keys to unlocking the mystery of the famous star. The star of Bethlehem was not the brightest of the heavenly lights, nor was it the most spectacular starry manifestation of all time. However, it was part of the most meaningful set of celestial events in human history. The God of Israel is surprising. His ways are not our ways; his thoughts are not our thoughts. The star gives us a concrete example of God’s intervention in the universe. Book website: www.star-of-bethlehem.info

Sundaland is a bio-geographical region of Southeastern Asia which encompasses the Sunda Shelf, the part of the Asian continental shelf that was exposed during the Last Ice Age. It included the Malay Peninsula on the Asian mainland, as well as the large islands of Kalimantan, Java and Sumatera, and their surrounding islands. Sundaland is in the tropics, surrounded by oceans, and within the Ring of Fire. Benefitting from the heavy precipitation, volcanic deposits in Sundaland develop into some of the richest forestry and agricultural lands, and developed into some of the richest fauna on Earth. The vast majority of scholars accept that every living human being is descended from a small group in Africa, who then dispersed into the wider world. Archaeological and fossil evidence support an early migration of modern humans left Africa and followed the coastlines of Africa, Arabia, India and Sundaland. After migrating from the semi-deserted savannas of Africa, man first found a place in Sundaland where food was abundant and it was there that they left hunter-gatherer culture and invented farming, agriculture, trading and civilization, which made humanity first flourished. All this took place during the Last Glacial period. The sea levels continued to rise gradually to peak levels about 5,500 years ago, causing land loss on tropical coasts with flat continental shelves. Cracks in the earth’s crust as the weight of the ice shifted to the seas set off catastrophic events compounded by earthquakes, volcano eruptions, super waves and floods drowned the coastal cultures and all the flat continental shelves of Southeast Asia, and wiped out many populations. As the sea rolled in, there was a mass migration from the sinking continent. Genetic studies show that there has been a sharp decline in the population of the world, and population turnovers from Southeast, East and South Asia to Europe, Near East and the Caucasus beginning at the the end of the Younger Dryas period. The Younger Dryas disasters are also documented as legends, myths or tales in almost every region on Earth, observable with tremendous similarities. They are common across a wide range of cultures, extending back into Bronze Age and Neolithic prehistory. The overwhelming consistency among legends and myths of flood and the repopulation of man from a flood hero similar to the Noah Flood are found in distant parts of the Earth. The myths similar to the Garden of Eden, Paradise or Divine Land echo among the populations around the world. Memories of their origin are documented in their legends, such as the stories of Atlantis, Neserser, Land of Punt, Land of Ophir, Kumari Kandam, Kangdez and Taprobana. Pyramids spread in many parts of the world and emerged separately from one another by oceans who supposedly never discovered each other’s existence. Those indicate that they were derived from a common origin. Further, scholastic belief by etymologists and linguists are positive that all world languages sprang from a common source.

In Going Up and Going Down Yitzhak Peleg argues that the story of Jacob's dream (Genesis 28.10-22), functions as a mise en abyme ('as a figure, trope or structure that somehow reflects in compact form, in miniature, the larger structure in which it appears', Greenstein). Close examination reveals that focusing on the vision of Jacob's dream and understanding it as a symbolic dream facilitates an explanation of the dream and its meaning. Scholars have historically classified the dream as theophany, the purpose of which is to explain how Beth-El became a sacred place, and as such the vision in Jacob's dream is generally accepted as merely ornamental, or even lacking a message in itself. Whilst Peleg does not contradict or seek to go against identification of the dream as theophany, he sees a more nuanced purpose behind its presentation. Peleg's proposal is that the description of the vision, and especially that of the movement of the angels, is not embellishment, supplementation or scenic background, of God's message, but that it directly symbolizes the path taken by the Patriarchs to and from the Promised Land. Furthermore, the narrative context and visual description in the dream in which 'Angels of God were going up and down it' appears when Jacob is on his way to Harran, that is to say, when he is about to leave Israel.
